It's a real shame with the conference shuffling over the past few years. I miss that big Thanksgiving weekend game between WVU and Pitt. WVU in the big 12 makes no sense and seems out of place. WVU will be playing Pitt in basketball this season but it won't even be a contest because Pitt's basketball team is as bad if not worse than their football team.

Is Rafael Palmeiro seriously considering an MLB comeback at 53 years old? Apparently

Rafael Palmeiro is 53 and hasn't played in the major leagues since since 2005, but the former Orioles first baseman believes he can make a comeback in pro baseball. Yes, seriously. According to a piece by The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, Palmeiro has a desire to return to the majors in order to prove he can still play and -- maybe more important -- be able to go out on his own terms.

The Noles were 5-6 against FBS opposition, but they also had a blowout win of Delaware State, a 2-9 FCS team from the MEAC.

That FCS win has to meet a seldom-cited requirement to count toward a bowl.

It has to come against a team that has used at least 90 percent of the FCS maximum scholarship total (63 per team) “during a rolling two-year period.”

I can’t think of a time this rule has been used to invalidate an FCS win. There are a few 6-6 teams every year that have beaten FCS teams, though.

Under this rule, Delaware State shouldn’t have counted toward FSU’s eligibility.

Reddit went to Delaware State and got the numbers, finding they came up short. SB Nation reached out to various DSU officials to attempt to confirm those numbers, but didn’t hear anything back. FSU and the Independence Bowl declined comment to the Tampa Bay Times.

Thursday night, reporter Brett McMurphy confirmed the game will go on despite a “monumental error that should have been caught at three levels: the school, conference and NCAA.”
